bloomin’ baked apples;

So let’s go with: I’m going to whip these out again one day and impress someone. They look amazing. They taste even more amazing. And you can pretend that they’re healthy (they’re not). I did forget to add that extra drizzle of caramel, but you know. That’s how these things go.

Now I used McIntosh apples because that’s what I had lying around, and I wasn’t able to make the nice rings that the gunny sack suggested. Because my apples were softer, instead I just cut out from the center, making sure not to cut through the base. The other addition that I made was to throw some chopped walnuts on top for the last five minutes of the baking time. But I suggest serving with ice cream, to really round out the whole experience. Go big or go home.

Honestly, I don’t even have much left to say about this particular recipe because it’s just GOOD. Make it. Go.
